Scholarscope is a free iPhone app developed by 放 朱 that aims to enhance the user experience of searching for literature on PubMed. PubMed, managed by the National Institutes of Health, is a widely-used open-access abstract database that allows users to retrieve published and forthcoming articles and access relevant information such as authors, journals, publication dates, abstracts, and download options.

Scholarscope automatically loads the information of journals from PubMed search results, displaying their impact factors and rankings in the respective fields. By focusing on the essential details, Scholarscope provides users with a comprehensive overview of the literature's importance and relevance. Additionally, the app offers features like literature export buttons for easy access to article information and the ability to mark important papers for future reference.
